Abstract excerpt
DC-159a yielded MICs of <or=1 mug/ml against 316 strains of both quinolone-susceptible and -resistant pneumococci (resistance was defined as a levofloxacin MIC >or=4 microg/ml). Although the MICs for DC-159a against quinolone-susceptible pneumococci were a few dilutions higher than those of gemifloxacin, the MICs of these two compounds against 28 quinolone-resistant pneumococci were identical. The DC-159a MICs...
